On Lifes Journey
Whats My Next Step?
A couple of weeks ago I, along with two members of the church,
attended a men's conference in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Col-
orado. The conference was called Wild at Heart Boot Camp. Each
session was very informative and enriching. Each session was ex-
tremely helpful.
Since returning I've shared information from one of the sessions in
several venues, and it seems to have connected well with listeners. I realize that any
connection made has nothing to do with me, but with God's Spirit and the content of
the message. Therefore, I want to share it again.
The session had to do with discerning one's next step on the journey of life. The
questions were these: From where I am today, what is my next mission? What is my
next step? In order to discern the answers, we were give three words: Desire, Risk
and Validation.
Desire
Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires
of your heart." One translation says it like this, "Walk with God and follow your
heart." We all have God-given desires; things that give us a life and joy. We have atendency, however, to dismiss them. Often we dismiss them because we've heard so
much about wickedness, corruption and deception of the human heart. And the bible
does say that the unredeemed heart is wicked, deceptive and corrupt. However, the
redeemed heart is good. In the Old Testament God says he will change our hearts
(Ezekiel 36:25-29; Jeremiah 31:33). In the New Testament, we're told that God
dwells in our hearts (Ephesians 3:14-19; 1 Corinthians 3:16). As well, we're told to
love God with all our hearts (Luke 1:27). Can the heart deceive us? Yes. Can the
heart lead us astray? Yes. However, if we are walking with God; if He lives in our
hearts; if we're loving and worshiping God with our hearts, we should learn to listenwith our hearts. The speaker put it like this, "Core desire is where the theme of our
mission evolves." In other words, the desire of the heart helps us see the path God is
calling us to walk.

Thank you for helping make this past Sat-
urday so special to so many children. Your
prayers and generosity and volunteeringmade the Back to School Outreach day
very successful and a blessing to so many.
Approximately 300 school supply packets

the kids enjoyed immensely. Chilled wa-termelon was enjoyed. Trinity Rotary Club

a wonderful time of praise, worship, prayer, community, fellowship and learning to sing
better. Will you prayerfully consider joining the choir for the next season starting Septem-
ber 5th from 7:00-8:30 pm? It's not just about singing, it's a weekly ministry. Feel free to
